Here's a few for you to consider....
Wanda - Only ever kited here in a NE breeze, a little bit gusty
Kernel - NW to NE, a good learners spot, very choppy, helpful locals
Sandringham - Only ever kited here in a SE breeze, very smooth
Dolls Point - Only ever kited here in a NE breeze, very choppy, helpful locals
Brighton CP3/CP1 - works for NE through to SSE. Very choppy with a decent wind. Good foiling location.
Fishermans (Collaroy) - Only ever kited here in a NE breeze. Small launch area and a few rock reefs.
Narrabeen - Only ever kited here in a NE breeze (SE should work), Can get some nice waves but they are often close to the shore line
Umina Beach - SSW to SE (NE is possible in the channel for the thrill seekers). Waves are not generally large, but a 400m ride is an acceptable replacement, helpful locals
Toowoon Bay - kited here in a NE, S, SSW (it is a very small area and prone to crowding) but a lot of fun
Picnic Point (The Entrance) - SW to NW, super smooth and super shallow (think two inches), generally gusty
Canton Beach (Toukley) - SW (SE should work), quite smooth close to shore, super choppy 200m out (you can surf the chop on big days!!!)
Norah Head (Hargreaves Beach) - NE to E, an ocean side spot that is protected (mostly) by a rock reef. Can get a nice swell travelling through gap
Budgewoi/Hali - N/NE/E - a good flat water spot, can get gusty, deep enough for foiling (will often work when Norah says 6 knots)
Birdie Beach to Norah Head - NE (E to SE should work), excellent downwinder location, great waves, odd shark, dolphin, turtle (don't do it alone)
Caves Beach/Hams Beach - NE to SE, great wave location
Swansea Channel (Salts) - NE, best flat water spot I have tried, really consistent summer breeze when it blows
Swansea Co-Op - SSW to W, a good flat water spot, super shallow, wear booties for the razor fish
Squids @ Belmont - NW to W, a good flat water spot, super shallow, wear booties for the razor fish
Marmong Point - S/SE, a good flat water spot, can get gusty, deep enough for foiling
Redhead to Blacksmiths - NE (E to SE should work), excellent downwinder location, great waves, odd humongous shark
Nobbies - NE, great surf location and also good behind the rock reef
Birubi - SW, one of the few good surf locations on the east coast, the wind is generally pretty consistent
Thanks for all of the places, I will try out picnic point in a weeks time. if you see someone struggling in the water that will be me....cheers
